Bamboo Mat Stratford is a Peruvian-Japanese restaurant at 21-24 Victory Parade in East Village. Designed as an energetic expression of Peru, the venue includes an open kitchen where guests can watch the sushi team at work, an outdoor terrace and a small private dining room.
The menu explores Nikkei cuisine, the cooking tradition created through Japanese and Peruvian influences. Sea bass ceviche with fruit-led tiger’s milk, hamachi tiradito with yuzu and ají amarillo, and chicken anticucho from the grill show how citrus, chilli, smoke and precise seafood preparation meet across the menu.
Sushi ranges from salmon and tuna nigiri to maki filled with seafood, avocado and punchy house sauces. Teriyaki dishes, slow-cooked ox cheek, grilled octopus and lamb chops add substantial choices, while vegetable ceviche, sweet potato and meat-free sushi support vegetarian and vegan diners.
Tasting menus offer a structured journey through ceviche, tiradito, grilled dishes and sushi, while lunch choices provide a shorter visit. Pisco cocktails, sake, wine and Japanese whisky complement the food, and guests with allergies should consult the current menu labels and confirm shared preparation practices with staff.
Address: 21-24 Victory Parade, East Village, London E20 1FS, England
Bamboo Mat Stratford Menu
Signature Dishes
Seabass Ceviche
Seabass gently cured in mango & passion fruit tiger’s milk, red onion brings a crisp bite, and cancha corn adds the final crunch. [GF]
Bamboo Maki
Crisp nobashi shrimp meets silky bluefin tuna and creamy avocado, wrapped in warmth and crowned with acevichado sauce, shichimi spice, and garden-fresh cress. A bold bite with a whisper of fire.
Chicken Anticucho
Marinated in rich anticucho sauce, tender chicken thigh is grilled to smoky perfection, served over mashed potato with salsa verde. A nod to Peruvian streets, where fire meets flavour. [GF]
